sjaguar13 Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 What's a good bridge for this hollow body? Number 1 Number 2 (The chrome one) Also, what about knobs. I have no idea about them. Bell, Dome, something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otgordin Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 I like the floating tune-o-matic bridges. I threw one on a Harmony Rocket hollowbody that I have and have no complaints. Can't vouch for whatever brand Stew Mac is selling tho. -Vadim btw.... I am done with finals today. Will be rebuilding my strat in at most two days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 The basewood should generally mirror your neck wood, so go with Rosewood base. The finish should mirror the finish on the guitar, so chrome. It would be No. 2, chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaguar13 Posted December 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 That's the one I was liking the most. What about knobs? I seen some hollow bodies with speed knobs, black strat knobs, and gold bell knobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryeisnotcool2 Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 well if you are using a bigsby trem, then go with no.1 because that is what they come with, id do gold bell knobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaguar13 Posted December 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Number one looks like it fits the guitar more, but I don't really know. I'm thinking gold bell knobs, too, but is it going to look stupid with chrome hardware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DividedByJames Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 I'd go withe the #2 Chrome/rosewood. I'd go with amber barrel knobs, or if you are doing white (or ?) pickups, you could match the knobs to the pickup color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 I'd go with ebony knobs. Definately #2 bridge. Stew mac sells the ebony knobs. I also can make you some in a different wood. It'd be cheap if I did. PM if interested. also, send your location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycee Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 I would go with chrome accessories keeping everything uniform. It looks much better then. Ask any woman, thats why they buy a whole new outfit when they go out to buy a pair of shoes "well I didn't have anything to go with these " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis P Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 my dad has that same guitar, only its a left handed Kent, he dont play anymore cuz of a damaged finger back when he was my age, but he still has the guitar in mint shape Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaguar13 Posted January 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 What kind of bridge and knobs does it have, and does it have the Mic 1/Mic 2 thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis P Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 i dunno bout the bridge or the mic 1/mic 2 thing, but he had custom knobs built for him, they are really sweet, medium round, like a collar, and have numbers in them, he had them custom coloured too, the colour has faded over the years though, so i cant honestly tell you what it is I would suggest maybe bronze tuning keys with bronze/gold tone/volume knobs, it would look killer!
